Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) is one of five covenanted ministries of the United Church of Christ. JWM is responsible for national office ministries related to four areas: economic justice; "human rights, justice for women and transformation;" "public life and social policy;" and "racial justice". The justice page of the UCC homepage reports the statement that "Doing justice, seeking peace and building community are central to the identity of the United Church of Christ," although no formal resolution of synod has ever made this declaration of denominational identity. ==Locations and organization== In addition to its offices in Cleveland, JWM also maintains an office on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C..〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Justice and Witness Ministries: Washington Office )〕 JWM is also affiliated with: * Franklinton Center at Bricks, a conference, retreat, and educational facility in eastern North Carolina with a focus on justice advocacy and leadership development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Franklinton Center at Bricks )〕 * Centro Romero, a border immersion Center focusing on issues of globalization, economic policy, immigration and community empowerment in San Ysidro, CA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Centro Romero )〕 * Pilgrim Firs, a space for studying environmental justice that is part of a partnership with the Pacific/Northwest Conference of the United Church of Christ.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UCC Environmental Justice Centers )〕 The current Executive Minister for Justice and Witness Ministries is Ms. M.
